Love Me Again✓

16. Confrontation with Past

Ever since the recent events, regret had been Kavya's constant companion. She replayed the scene in her mind, where she had slapped her own husband wishing the time could go back, and she could make a different choice as of listening to him, But time is similar to the tide, it's relentless and unforgiving.

Kavya was left stranded on the shores of remorse, the waves of her decisions were hitting her with a hard force. Whenever she remembers her argument with Viraj at the airport it leaves a bitter taste in her heart.

She was thankful of Rishabh who made her realised on what she had lost. She was always proud of Viraj as her husband but till now she had never done anything of which Viraj could be proud of her.

Her toes took her on a different path whereas she kept crying softly her cries were barely audible, it felt like similar to her own self, her tears were lost in the midst of an unknown crowd. Her stifled sob was resounding an ache in her heart.

Few Hours Ago:

Mrs Bansal's Pov:

It had been a long day today, and on top of it I had to walk three kilometers to get fresh vegetables for Kavya. Few hours back she had fainted out of exhaustion so all of us had laid her on her bed so that she could rest.

It took me some time to reach home, the moment I reached back, I hurriedly went towards the refrigerator and stored the vegetables inside it. I would be washing them and making a soup for Kavya later on first I thought to check her up.

I climbed the stairs and because of running for the errands now I was sweating profusely. I knocked at her door once I came in front of her room. I called out for Kavya by her name however I noticed something unusual. There was a strange silence in her room.

I knocked at her door again and this time again, I received no response. Anxiousness ensued within me, Kavya always used to answer me but today neither she wasn't responding nor she was coming out.

As I was receiving the silence of inactivity as a response to every time I knocked at her door, out of agitation I pushed the door and to my surprise, there was no one inside.

Hurriedly I called Kavya on her mobile to trace her current location but was astounded to see that she had left her phone in her room itself.

I searched the entire room and then the house but there was not a soul in sight. I quickly called Kavya's uncle and requested them to come back as soon as possible from their evening walk.

I kept on pacing around the house, but my heart started to beat faster and out of the anxiousness I decided to call Viraj and inform him about the recent events.

It took Viraj a moment to pick my call but as soon as he picked the call I started narrating him the events "Viraj ---Viraj, beta, Kavya had been missing from her room I don't know where she has gone, I can't seem to find her." I said.

"Kavya is Missing? What do you mean Masi Ji? What happened? Why is she not in her room?" Viraj questioned back with an evident fear in his voice.

"I don't know beta I had went to the market to purchase some groceries and your uncle had went outside for his evening walk. The moment I reached back I went towards kavya's room and she was not there.

Few hours back your friend had come and he and Kavya had an argument where he was taking your side and explaining Kavya about the situations. He was trying to make Kavya understand that she should forget her past, after the argument yesterday she had fell unconscious that's why I had went to market to buy some fresh vegetables so that I could make healthy food for her but now she is nowhere to be seen and I don't know what to do. Please come back Viraj. I am feeling extremely scared."
